A new guide to winning over a girlfriend with an abstract identity is released every week.

Five thousand yuan, after deducting household living expenses, there's not much money left.

Therefore, she really couldn't afford a plane ticket that cost over a thousand yuan.

On the other hand, after a day of rest, Lin Zheng planned to contact Wang Zhixue and subtly reveal his identity in exchange for her help.

However, a strange woman approached him.

"Mr. Lin, I apologize for bothering you. I have seen your information. You are a 23-year-old male with a college diploma. However, thanks to your excellent skills, you have entered a manufacturing plant in Jiangcheng and are currently working as an assistant engineer."

And then, a while ago you were tricked into giving away a kidney by your girlfriend with kidney failure... Sorry, I didn't mean to reopen your wounds.

What I mean is, during those two surgeries, the doctors discovered you had... a very insidious brain tumor.

The woman, with a sallow complexion, dry hair, and a sickly appearance, barged into Lin Zheng's hospital room.

At this time, she was emaciated and withered, clearly suffering from a serious illness.

"Hmm? A brain tumor?"

Lin Zheng's expression turned strange the moment he heard that word.

He immediately started to complain in his mind, "Is this version of myself in this world really this ridiculous?"

First, he was swindled out of a kidney by a gold digger, and now he's been diagnosed with a brain tumor?

"By the way, let me introduce myself, my name is..."

The woman lowered her eyes as she spoke, hesitated for a moment, and then continued, "My name is Zhang Shiyao, and I am a kidney failure patient. Um... I know you..."

Zhang Shiyao shook her head, unsure of what to say.

After all, Lin Zheng had just been deceived by a kidney failure patient.

Now another patient with kidney failure has emerged.

Most importantly...

She stopped talking, took a document out of her bag, and handed it to Lin Zheng.

Lin Zheng took the document and discovered that it was the woman's medical report.

He looked up, puzzled, and asked, "What do you mean?"

Zhang Shiyao didn't speak, but instead took out another document from her bag, which listed the conditions of brain tumor patients.

Lin Zheng was startled to see that the animals had survived for no more than two years.

"What do you mean by this?" he asked again, his voice rising slightly.

Facing this level of illness for the first time truly caught him off guard.

"Um... what I mean is, I want to marry you so that after you die, as your spouse, I will have priority in receiving a kidney transplant from you."

"Huh? What I mean is, you'll die from this illness sooner or later. After you die, I'll treat your parents the way I would my own..."

Zhang Shiyao lowered her head guiltily as she spoke, unable to continue.

Seeing her like this, Lin Zheng's throat went dry, and he couldn't speak for a moment.

So, is this a decision made by a kidney failure patient in order to... try every possible way to survive?

After a long silence, a beam of light flashed through Lin Zheng's mind.

His pupils contracted, and he quickly asked, "How did you know this information about me? Do you... know Lin Shuying?"

As he spoke, his eyelids twitched slightly, and a hint of hatred unconsciously welled up inside him.

Zhang Shiyao nodded without hesitation and replied, "That's right, Lin Shuying and I are fellow patients. We are both kidney failure patients, and the kidneys we need to be matched with have about 90% similarities in the locations required."

In other words, we can be matched with the same kidney donor.

I'm sorry, I only found out about you and her in the last couple of days.

I know I shouldn't say these things to hurt you right now, but... but... I really want to live...

As Zhang Shiyao spoke, her face fell, she covered her mouth, and tears streamed down her face.

Kidney failure, a disease that sounds terrifying.

Those who haven't experienced it don't take it seriously, or they keep their distance.

But only those who have experienced it will feel the hellish pain of facing death.

Lin Zheng fell completely silent at this moment.

He came to his senses.

I took another look at Zhang Shiyao.

This girl is quite pretty; at least her features are very nice.

It was her illness that made her look sickly, and her appearance suffered by at least three points.

So, this girl is the real female lead of this game?

Chapter 301 Agreement

Zhang Shiyao cried for about ten seconds before quickly stopping her sudden outburst of emotions.

She looked at Lin Zheng with red eyes, hoping to get an answer.

However, even if she is rejected, she will not give up.

To survive and escape the torment of illness, she is willing to give up many, many things, including herself!

Seeing her like this, Lin Zheng asked, "Can you find Lin Shuying?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shiyao was taken aback. She first shook her head, then quickly nodded: "It should be fine. We've known each other for over two years. I heard she transferred to a hospital in Nancheng recently. There are only a few well-known hospitals in Nancheng. As long as we look for them one by one, we'll definitely be able to find her."

Lin Zheng's lips curled into a smirk as he thought to himself, "Hey~! Isn't this just like the saying, 'After all the mountains and rivers seem to have no end, a new village appears amidst the willows and flowers'?"

He took a deep breath, smiled, nodded, and said, "You were talking about marrying me, right?"

"Mmm~, don't worry, after you die, your parents will be my parents, and I will treat them well!" Zhang Shiyao nodded repeatedly.

It's this emotional intelligence...

It seems rather impolite to keep talking about other people's deaths.

Lin Zheng was speechless.

However, he didn't care and continued, "I can agree to the agreement, but I also have two requests."

"What are the requirements?" Zhang Shiyao asked quickly.

"1. Help me find Lin Shuying. 2. Let me feel... your love for me, or even just let me fall in love with you. If you can do these two things, I'll marry you immediately, and after I die, my kidney will be yours."

Lin Zheng made these two requests.

Zhang Shiyao also fell into thought after hearing this.

First, she quickly realized that Lin Zheng might be seeking revenge on Lin Shuying.

But the second point was something she couldn't figure out.

It was clearly just an agreement, yet... the two of them are in love?

That's absolutely ridiculous.

Before she fell ill, she had a positive attitude towards love and the like.

But after suffering from the illness for several years...

All she wanted was to live, to escape the torment of her illness; nothing else mattered.

First, help Lin Zheng find Lin Shuying, and she can agree to that.

Secondly, she can also agree to that.

She didn't know what love was, but she could try to demonstrate it.

After only a moment's hesitation, Zhang Shiyao immediately nodded: "Okay, I accept both of your conditions. How about we sign an agreement?"

"Oh... we need to sign an agreement?"

Lin Zheng scratched his head.

I just feel like this girl has such a strong will to survive.

"Yes, as long as we sign an agreement, I'll agree to both of your requests. And your parents will be my parents in the future; I'll definitely take good care of them and provide for their old age..."

"Hey? Please don't! My parents have pensions, and we own a house. You're trying to inherit my family's wealth, aren't you?"

Lin Zheng interrupted Zhang Shiyao's tactless remarks at just the right moment.

Perhaps the difficulties of survival have lessened somewhat.

Zhang Shiyao looked sickly, but a blush miraculously appeared on her sallow face.

"Then I'll go prepare the agreement, wait for me."

She said this and quickly left the ward.

Lin Zheng watched the girl's departing figure, and for a moment he was filled with doubt.

She even began to suspect that the girl might also be lying to her.

He doesn't have a brain tumor at all.

However, these things cannot be hidden.

He called the nurse over and asked about his medical records.

After some examination, a test report was indeed found that resembled a brain tumor.

The hospital ordered a full-body checkup, which they estimated would cost around four or five thousand yuan.

Then the original owner seemed to be completely despondent, heartbroken, and didn't want to do any tests. He only wanted to heal the wounds from the kidney transplant surgery first, and nothing else mattered.

Zhang Shiyao quickly returned with an agreement document.

It seems she had prepared for this long ago, with an agreement document ready in advance.

However, two demands from Lin Zheng were added to the agreement.

After taking a look and finding no problems, Lin Zheng signed his name directly.

Just as he finished writing, his mother, Long Cuiping, entered the ward carrying breakfast.

She saw a strange woman suddenly appear in front of Lin Zheng's hospital bed, holding a document and doing something, and immediately became wary.

"Who are you?" she asked as she walked over quickly.

"I..." Zhang Shiyao looked at Long Cuiping, who was in her fifties, and immediately realized that she was Lin Zheng's mother. She quickly stood up from her seat, stammering, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Oh, Mom, this is my colleague. She's here to see me."

Seeing this, Lin Zheng immediately tried to smooth things over.

"Oh, it's Xiaolin's colleague. Please sit down, please sit down."

Long Cuiping forced a smile onto her face, like a mask.

"Hey, Xiaolin, you guys chat first. Mom's going out for a walk. Call me if you need anything."

She said this, placed the breakfast on the bedside table, and then turned and left, so as not to affect her son's work.

After Long Cuiping left, Zhang Shiyao sat down awkwardly again.

After signing the agreement, she looked at the man she had just met, feeling embarrassed and unsure of what to say.

Lin Zheng was originally quite handsome.

But even the most handsome or good-looking person can't withstand a serious illness.

So now she looks just as pale and not very good-looking.

After being given anesthesia, I didn't feel any pain, but I couldn't move.

He looked at Zhang Shiyao and felt that the two of them sitting there awkwardly like this was not a good thing.

Task 2: To rediscover love; I reckon he'll have to do it himself.

What are the characteristics of a pure hatred warrior?

So you've become indifferent to the opposite sex?
